I’m enjoying my TREE FARM candle. This candle makes my house smell like a fresh cut tree. And Antique Candle Co. is offering free shipping on every order, so check out all their Christmas candles and bundles. Perfect for relaxing, and perfect for holiday and hostess gifts.
2. My house is in that crazy chaos mode, where half the fall decor has been taken down, Christmas planning is in the works, and there’s NO WAY I could take a single picture of ANY area in my home at this moment. I’m hoping to transition from fall to winter very soon before going full on Christmas.

3. What happened on the blog this week…I am joining an amazing group of talented bloggers today to bring you A Season of Thanks Blog Hop, where I’m sure you will be inspired by all things Thanksgiving. Our host, Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home, shares her new kitchen, finished just in time for the holidays. I’m sharing 5 ways to Create a Thanksgiving Tablescape Using Natural Elements.

I shared the best time for dividing perennials, and the reasons why you should divide them. I’ll be writing a blog post this weekend on how to use your fallen leaves in the yard.

5. What I’m working on for next week…I’ll be sharing how to dig up and store dahlia tubers, how I transition my home from fall to winter, and more of my favorite Christmas and holiday finds.

Love these posts so much, Kim! I always learn something new and feel inspired whenever I read them. My home sounds a lot like yours. There are boxes and bins everywhere. Thankfully, I know they’ll all be put away soon and I’ll be eating Christmas cookies once the work is done. Playing Christmas music and lighting candles helps a lot. It feels like the perfect way to welcome the season. Hugs, CoCo
